Put the bind / calibration button in the case. Then we could chose to leave the external power switch attached, or just cut it off and tie the wires together like we do on Tekin RX-8s. IMHO the best power switch is no power switch. It can't fail if it isn't there.

They either need to put the switch on the esc (best option) or give us a longer power button cord so we have more options on placement. If they gave us an extra inch maybe 2 of wire then it could be run to the other side of the chassis behind the battery on most models.

I've had to use contact cleaner on the internal switch on an XR10, t ok get the switch working again... when it wasn't working you could wiggle the front tires from side to side quickly, and the small amount of power the servo made from that would turn it on... I'm OK with the separate switch, BUT it should be removable/replaceable with an always on condition whenever it's not present.... the lead for the Rx should be removable as well... i w p.o uldnt he surprised if they keep the others, or at least the budget SCT model, and also wouldn't be surprised if they make a new basher ESC for more than 4S...this is clearly aimed at 1:8 scale racing mainly....with any other 3-4S use as possible, but not necessarily meant for bashers....

switch on the esc for simplicity BUT the main benefit would be... no wire to break as the switch would be part of the esc, attached to it more permanently.. I’ve seen and heard with esc power switches on a wire is prone to getting snagged and ripped off (in racing it can EASILY ruin your race as your esc can shut down or worse short out with their own wires getting bare contacting on your chassis)

Yes, 2200kv is a faster (top end speed) motor than a 1900kv. The 1900kv is really the sweet spot for most 1/8th scale buggies, as it has the torque needed on 4s. I would look at parts for those two buggies. For me, the Xray stuff is hard to find in CA vs. Mugen. I'd give Mugen the bump on more durable.....but Tekno is likely the most durable

What's the difference between sensored and not sensored??
@TheRCNetwork
@TheRCNetwork 3 жыл бұрын
Sensored has an extra wire going from the motor to the ESC telling the ESC exactly where the rotor on the motor is, during start up....giving the motor a much smoother feel at lower RPMs....most sensorless systems are plagued by "cogging" where at low RPMs the rotor hesitates and will rock back and forth before it engages throttle or reverse. Sensored also run more efficient, typically cooler (if geared right) and are not waterproof (usually...there are some exceptions though)

I ordered this in 4300kv, but I never received it, got "lost" in the mail, got a refund, ordered it again, there was an error somewhere, got another refund, i ordered it again today.. Wish me luck lol. Its like they know what I want to do with it, the build I'm doing is going to be a beast. I'm putting it in a 1/14 scale

Well, it was compounded by a few things: 1. I lost interest in RC. With all of the shop closures and track closures, there really wasn't much locally anymore. Even OCRC closed right before I decided to hang it up. 2. I gained some new hobbies that started taking up my time. I started mountain biking again and I bought a Tacoma TRD Off Road that has taken some of my time up vs. RC. 3. I work in a new job that has me filming/editing video much more than previous jobs. So, coming home at night/weekends and filming/editing wasn't something I wanted to do. 4. Vendors - the people sending out products to review were being quite difficult. As an example one company sent out a product to review in July 2021 - an RTR. Literally just sent it out with no communication. So, I did a review/unboxing of it and got practically threatened that I shouldn't have posted that video and I had better take it down. They even said they just forgot to communicate with me regarding the date of release. And that wasn't the first time. Keep in mind, this is all work I did in my extra time - away from family and other things.
